Grasses

Ornamental grasses are a popular choice for gardeners looking to add structure and texture to their landscape design. These hardy perennials come in a wide variety of sizes and shapes, from tall varieties like pampas grass to small plants like carex. Ornamental grasses offer an interesting contrast to other plants with their feathery foliage, airy blooms, and unique seed heads. They can be used as background, border, or accent plants in the garden, or can be grown in containers for a dramatic look. Planting ornamental grasses near pathways or water features adds movement, sound and beauty to any yard. Heights range from one foot tall to more than ten feet tall depending on the variety chosen, so there is something suitable for any size garden. Ornamental grasses need full sun and well-draining soil to do well; they typically don’t require much fertilizer or pruning beyond removing dead stalks in the springtime. Deer resistant and low-maintenance, these stunning plants bring visual interest year-round when planted en masse or as single specimens—making them an excellent choice for landscape design!
